    Got out early and ate breakfast with a few friends. Cold rainy day but getting some seat time did my body good!

    I did nothing with my MINI today, 'cause it's raining and it would get dirty.

    Had breakfast with a bunch of my buds at Tommy's this morning.... Went back to the shop and told stories around my partially disassembled MINI...

    Helped make a Texas MINI legal in Ohio...

    Helped out another Miniac.... Put a little spring in his life.... Really did do this.

    Discussed the pro's and con's of a leopard skin MINI valve cover...

    Had sticker fun today! Applied a pair of windshield stickers from M/A, 1 on front glass, 1 on rear. On passenger side rear glass added an Actual Size sticker. A classic...:biggrin5:

    Today I took my car out in the rain and picked up oil, 10 gallons of Meth and my new Dunlop ZII's all four mounted and balanced for free. Just paid cost for the tires. :D

    Of course I spent a few hours hanging (5) new 8 ft lights for my mechanic. Love the barter system.:lol:

    Today since it's warmer and raining I put my car outside to soak. That left me the whole garage to clean, polish and seal my Summer wheels. Since it was raing it was a perfect time to wash my car and not worry about the soap or water drying on the car leaving spots. I washed my car and it self rinsed with a little help from my hose. I pulled it back in the garage blew all the water off with my electric leaf blower and put on my Summer wheels.

    All ready for a trip to Helix Tuesday for my new R53 JCW brake kit install and and a new belt. No I am not using EBC Red pads. :devil:

    Went for a nice drive in the country to a Coral Aquaculture facility for a Reef Tank Club meeting. Picked up a few very small items. Had a great drive back home with open windows.

    Salt water tank huh? Cool. Would love to do one, but would have to convert my current 50 gal tropical. Don't have room for both (or even this one according to my wife.....:D)
